Short Ride in a Fast Machine(John Adams)
(2007)Program note
Arrangement of John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine for Orkest De Volharding.
Blurb
Artistic director Anthony Fumara adds a little extra with his own arrangement of Short Ride In a Fast Machine by John Coolidge Adams. The piece, originally written for symphony orchestra, fits De Volharding like a glove. In nothing flat it functions as a four-minute breathtaking exclamation mark.
